"Tariff war".... If Xi really wanted to fight Trump on tariffs, Xi could stop all ships coming here from Chyna for a couple weeks. The stores would be empty real quick.
Just a thought. I welcome discussion whether my thinking is wrong.
Edit: I am wrong! Stopping shipping is not feasible. However I still think Xi is working with Trump
Xi can't stop all ships from leaving China for the United States. It would bankrupt China within days. In other words, China would be killing itself in the war against the United States. The better response would be to flood the country with merchandise and maybe threaten to bomb Washington D.C.
It all rides on the world's reserve currency and it's next to worthless.
